2003 f250 6.0
I know there are people out there upgrading their 6.0. So I just wanted to get some input, so i can do the same to mine. Recently the icp sensor went out, so I replaced it but I still have a little leak from there. Because I was not able to torque it down to the right spec. But Iím not worried about that now i just wonít drive her till i get what i want done. I plan on pulling the motor and cleaning it up and making sure everything still in spec. Before i start upgrading now what i want is at least 500 hp but i want it to be dependable. Right now i am in school and veteran so i am on a budget. I would like to get all the parts for the truck before i put her down for a while. So i would like input on where can i get the parts for cheap but quality i have a list of things i am thinking to do right now. Oh and does anyone live in Texas near the Dallas area i live in Allen TX

I'm in the Mansfield area. Doing injectors and a tuner will get you to the 500 hp you are looking for. According to the numbers on my SCT X4 I should be getting a little over 400 hp and 700 lbs torque. PM if you wanna chat.

sorry its taken me so long to get back to you guys yea i was thinking about getting an inter cooler upgrade to but i am working on a budget that kills a lot of things i want to do any other thoughts about all the upgrades i have listed so far and yea part of my fan shroud is busted from belt braking at 80 mph from previous owner and i figure if i can take drag off engine then i can get hp also a lot of car now and days run electric fans maybe i will do more research on that one also just wanted to run this by you guys my buddy says that i can get my stock injectors rebuilt to put out more what thoughts on that because the cost of buying new ones could take up all the project money

You can have your stock injectors modded to 175/stocks for relatively cheap. I'd call Rykan at Holders Diesel.

Also , a ported intake from WPE should be on your short list.

I'd recommend Vision a Diesel (me), KC (Charlie) or Barder (James) for a turbo upgrade. Any of us can set you up with a great turbo.

As for the intercooler, I think you'll be fine. You are going to Max out around 35psi of boost and that well within the limits of the stocker. If you want to upgrade, look at the BulletProof a Diesel kit. It'd be.a great budget friendly answer for you.
